Shanghai Disney Resort is celebrating their first Holiday season and I thought what better way to kick off 25 days of blogmas than sharing it with the newest Disney park!

Mickey Avenue has been Holiday Disneyfied with special decorations and festive music you can find throughout the resort including Downtown, Shanghai Disney Hotel and Toy Story Hotel. They have a christmas tree that lights up the night in the Gardens of Imaginations where every night you can see its magical and dazzling lights.

Of course it wouldn’t be a Disney holiday without Mickey and the gang dressed up in their holiday attire. Disney has also put out limited release merchandise items that you can also spot all around the resort. Some of the things you can find are special Mickey and Minnie plush toys, festive ears, headwear and scarves along with some holiday ornaments. Now for all my foodies out there Disney did not forget about us, there will definitely be some holiday treats and feasts coming our way!

Im excited to see the similarities and differences with holiday Shanghai Disney Resort will have compared to the other parks! What are you most excited to see? Let me know in the comments below!

The pups and I have been doing some puppy & me time. Now obviously I spend a lot of time with my littles, they are always with me, but I did some research to get me a bit more active along with the pups.

We do a series of a 5 minute workout which has three different levels, Hard, Harder and Hardest, BUT the main part is to work up a sweat while having fun with your furry friend.

LINERS(2x):

Create two targets about 15-25 ft away from each other walk, run, or sprint to the targets.

45 seconds in total (15 seconds at hard, 15 seconds at harder and 15 seconds at hardest) 10 second break between sets.

Your pups should be on either your left or right side of you at all times.

Hard-

Walk back and forth to each target.

Harder-

Jog back and forth between the targets.

Hardest-

Sprint back and forth to each target.

SIDE SHUFFLES(2x):

Perform side shuffles between the two targets.

45 seconds in total (15 seconds at hard, 15 seconds at harder and 15 seconds at hardest) 10 second break between sets.

Keep your pup in front of you the whole time and have them sit every time you make it to a target.

Hard-

Shuffle back and forth hitting each target.

Harder-

Shuffle back and forth between targets, once you have reached a target touch it with your hand before shuffling to the next target.

Hardest-

Shuffle back and forth between targets but instead of touching each target jump and bring your knees to your chest.

45 seconds in total (15 seconds at hard, 15 seconds at harder and 15 seconds at hardest) 10 second break between sets.

Have your pup sit in front of you so every time you hit your squat give your pup a high five.

Hard-

Squat focusing on your form and engaging your core.

Harder-

Squat and as you come up add a heal raise bringing your heal all the way off the ground..

Hardest-

Squat but this time jump up.

Day 1 workout complete. This isn’t the only activity the pups and i do, we like to go on long walks, hike and run a mile or two but i really wanted to work on strengthening my care and what better way to do it with your pups.

I hope you guys enjoy and let me know what activities you like to do with your furry friend? Will you be trying out 5 minute workout? be sure to let me know in the comments below!

Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. (Roald Dahl)

This is my all time favorite quote. Its so inspiring and positive that even in my saddest of moods i know by reading this quote my day can be turned around and no matter the size or where i look there will always be a bit of magic around each corner of life.

Today is my handsome little mans 4th birthday! I can not believe that he was born 4 years ago, and i can not see my life without this little guy! I am so thankful that he is my little man! From creeper status to snuggles this little guy will always be my little pawty pooper! He has the sweetest and cutest face, he is also a great big brother!!! Happy Birthday Tarzan!

The pups and i wanted to say Merry Christmas we hope you had a very very nice Christmas and holidays! It was a lot of fun doing this and i hope you enjoyed the 25 days of straight blogging!

Once again Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! What are some of your favorite holiday memories? Mine would have to be spending time with my family and my pups! Every year we play games and this year was dance moves charades it was really funny. My pups got a ton of cute and adorable outfits and spending time with them always makes me happy!

-leaf pile! I love being outside, it’s so relaxing and refreshing so jumping in a pile of leaves sounds amazing.

10. Skinny jeans or leggings?

-Leggings, I love leggings they are so comfy, and I love wearing a big sweater or shirt with them it’s the coziest!

11. Combat boots or Uggs?

-Combat Boots, I feel like combat boots are more comfy for me, I like wearing them with long socks and or leg warmers.

12. Pumpkin spice worth the hype?

-No, I’m not a fan of pumpkins. It’s not very tasty to me I prefer apple cyder.

13. Favorite fall tv show?

-I don’t watch TV a lot, so I don’t really have a favorite show, but my favorite movie would be between Lost Boys and Hocus Pocus.

14. What’s the best memory you have?

-Cooking with the family, so for thanksgiving my mom, grandma and I are in the kitchen cooking and I put on some music and we are all singing and my grandma starts dancing with me! It’ll always be my favorite memory because they are my two favorite women!

15. What song really gets you in the fall mood?

-Makes Me Happy by Drake Bell, it’s such a warming song for me, but my songs always change so i never have one favorite song!

Today like a dum dum i left my lights on in my car. I found out while i was at school, my mom said that my car wouldn’t start and it was making a weird noise when she tried to turn the lights off. I know a little about cars, and can do certain things BUT a car battery was a whole different story for me.

BUT our amazingly awesome and sweet maintenance guy fixed the problem and got my car to start and run again. I dont know how i am going to repay him for what i did. He could have ignored the fact my lights were on and just let my car sit until i need to use it again which would have been the next day.

I am very thankful there are caring people in the world, and i will be forever grateful and try and be the best person i could be everyday because this whole situation could have gone a completely different way.

Sometimes in your life you hit a low in your life, the black beed of the bracelet, hold mud from the dead sea which is the lowest part of the earth it represent the lowest and saddest of times. But you have to stay hopeful.

Other times in your life you feel like you are on top of the world. The white beed of the bracelet carries water from Mount Everest the highest part of the earth representing when you feel invincible but its also a reminder to stay humble in life.The classic bracelet is a reminder to stay humble no matter where i am in life. The pink Lokai bracelet is for all the men and women who are fighting cancer. I know this bracelet represents breast cancer, in my family we have lost a hand full of family members pass away from different kinds of cancer so i know how hard it is to lose a family member to this disease. This bracelet for me represents my loved ones and how hard they fought and stayed brave.

I really like what Lokai stands for and thought i would share there story along with mine.

Sometimes it takes an hour talk with your grandma to make you feel better!I dont know why but for the past two day my anxiety and stress level has been super ridiculous…I wasn’t able to sleep and i was panicking for no reason or stressing over something silly. Normally i can stay pretty positive and look for a silver lining in every situation but i couldn’t shake the negative feelings. This morning when i woke up i was still feeling pretty poorly so i called my nana and had a nice hour long chat with her. We just talked about movies and how she was doing and just random things. In the end she reminded to stay positive and keep my chin up, and just like that my negativeness was gone. i am really grateful and thankful that i can rely on my nana, and just call her up when i need to talk. In the end you might not be having a good day, but there is always something good in the day.
